XX THE KEY THE sign of the lover is hidden in vain From the eyes of the mage, from the sight of the sun: The laughter of life and the pzean of pain, The chords of the lyre and the answer of one. The toil of the pilgrim shall never be done; The love of the lover shall never be over: For there is no end, ah! no end to the Way, As there is no end to the love of the lover. And there is no cry: but some god shall obey, And there is no toil t…

Yet, wherefore do I know not, I must sing, Being of them to whom the Song is given: My only gift in reverent love I bring Before the bowl is shattered, and is riven The chord that binds the spirit to the flesh: I sing because the notes have sought so long, And found at last one soul serene and fresh To bear the burden of eternal song. So for this hour of song I have tuned my lyre Unto the Rose of the Immortal Fire. (x) When I am faded into nothingness, And thou of whomI sing art earth and dust; And when the soul I be…

… of all things known And unknown, Thou aloof, alone, Thou, the true fire within the reed Brooding and breeding, source and seed Of life, love, liberty, and light, Thou beyond speech and beyond sight, Thee I invoke, my faint fresh fire Kindling as mine intents aspire. Thee I invoke, abiding one, Thee, centre and secret of the Sun, And that most holy mystery Of which the vehicle am I. Appear, most awful and most mild, As it is lawful, in thy child !

Lithe arms, wan with love’s mysteries, Creep round and close me in, as Thule Wraps Arctic oceans ultimate ; Some deathly swoon or sacrifice, This love—a red hypnotic jewel Worn in the forehead of a Fate ! And like a devil-fish is ice, And like a devil-fish is cruel, And like a devil-fish is hate. Beneath those kisses songs of sadness Sob, in the pulses of desire, Seeking some secret in the deep ; Low melodies of stolen gladness, T…

And this was not a pain, but peaceable Like young-eyed love, reviving ; it consumed And consecrated and made savour sweet To our changed senses. And the dual self Of love grew less distinct and I began To feel her heart in mine, her lips in mine. ... Then mistier grew the sense of God without, And God was I, and nothing might exist, Subsist, or be at all, outside of Me, Myself Existence of Existences. We had passed unknowing to the woody crown Of the little hill. …

One kiss , like moonlight cold Lighting with floral gold The lake's low tune ; One kiss , one flower to fold , On its own calyx rolled At night , in June ! One kiss , like dewfall , drawn A veil o'er leaf and lawn Mix night , and noon , and dawn , Dew , flower , and moon !? That Alice was charmed , that the above was a love philtre , the thirteenth day discloses — the birthday of their first kiss : B…

For love is an equal soul, and shares an equal breath. I am nought—and thou the whole ? It were not love, but Death. Give me thy life and strength, let us struggle for mastery, As the long shore’s rugged length that battles with the sea. I am thine, I am thine indeed ! My form is vaster grown, And our limbs and lips shall bleed on the starry solar throne. M…

Swift the gaunt hounds that nose the warm close trail Of all my love’s content ; in vain I veil My secret of remorse ; from their keen sight And scent my poor deception takes to flight. I borrow perfume from young loves waxed pale ; I borrow music from the nightingale. In vain : she knows me, that I hate her quite. Not altogether : in my patchwork brain Some rag of passion tears its woof asunder. Strange, that its own insatiable pain Should find an opiate in her eyes of wo…
